The contact owns a 2004 GMC Yukon denali xl. The contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed during acceleration, the vehicle hesitated and the traction active warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air filter failed and needed to be replaced, the bg fuel induction serviced needed to be done, the front brake pads and rotors failed and needed to be replaced, and the rear differential service needed to be done. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
: the contact stated while getting an oil change, it was noticed the brake fluid was low. The dealer determined the rear rotors and pads needed to be replaced. Updated 12/1/2006 - the rear brake were worn, pitted, and rusted.
Brake pedal effort is excessive, resulting in several near misses due to inability to stop rapidly. Have notified dealer(s) several times, and they have stated that brakes were okay. I personally feel that brake pads and/or rotors were too small for weight of the truck.
